Finding Text
Statement of Condition: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended September 30, 2023, was not filed by the deadline of June 30, 2024, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512(a), the audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, adjusted for any extensions permitted by the Office of Management and Budget. Effect of Condition: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended September 30, 2023, was not accessible on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Cause of Condition: The portion of the Single Audit Reporting Package relating to the grant award testing and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), and preparation and submission of the Data Collection Form was not completed in sufficient time due to turnover in the organization’s finance department which caused delays in completing the audit and testing of the SEFA. Further, some additional grant testing procedures were required to be performed by the audit team that occurred after the required due date. Recommendation: We recommend the organization work closely with the audit firm to ensure that the single audit reporting package is issued by the deadline or within a federally approved extended date along with submitting the required data collection form with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Views of Responsible Officials: The organization agrees with the finding. Please refer to corrective action plan on page 48.
